We’ve partnered with Latitude Pure Coaching to help you prepare for the New Balance Palm Desert 1/2 Marathon & 5k. Choose between our free 12-week 1/2 marathon training plan or 8-week 5k training plan, and custom plans for both distances.
You read that right. Latitude Pure Coaching is providing each of our participants with free training plans for both the 1/2 marathon and 5k.

The 12-week 1/2 marathon plan starts on Monday, November 26 (last day to sign up is Sunday, December 9), and the 8-week 5k plan starts on Monday, December 24 (last day to sign up is Sunday, January 6).
